2Choncho anthu a fuko la Daniwo adatuma anthu asanu olimba mtima, osankhidwa mwa mabanja ao onse. Anthuwo adachokera ku Zora ndi ku Esitaoli, adatumidwa kuti akazonde dziko ndi kuliyendera. Anthu onse adaŵauza kuti, “Pitani mukayendere dzikolo.” Iwowo adakafika ku dziko lamapiri la ku Efuremu ku nyumba ya Mika, nagona komweko.

25Anthu a fuko la Dani aja adayankha kuti, “Usaonjezenso mau ena, mwinamwina anthu aŵa apsa mtima nakumenya, ndipo iweyo ndi banja lako nonse muphedwa.”

26Tsono anthu a fuko la Dani aja adapita, ndipo pamene Mika adaona kuti anthuwo ngamphamvu kupambana iyeyo, adangobwerera kunyumba kwake.
